Nate Glubish, the province’s newly appointed technology and innovation minister, was asked to develop the tax policy in his mandate letter, published Tuesday. (The Logic)

Talking point: The call for the tax credit comes as provinces compete to attract a growing field of video-game developers and filmmakers. Alberta has had some recent success in the area: major productions including HBO’s “The Last of Us,” a video-game-inspired zombie apocalypse show, have been filmed in the province. The tax policy will “ensure Alberta is competitive with Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia in attracting new investment and jobs, and increasing Alberta’s market share of this fast-growing, multi-billion dollar industry,” the letter said. Glubish’s mandate also includes developing technology to build the Alberta Health Spending Account platform, expanding broadband access, and streamlining and digitizing government services.
